ALF BOXALL: BODY LANGUAGE REVEALS THE TRUTH? PLUS A SUMMATION...

BODY LANGUAGE 

In the video above, Stuart Littlemore asks Alf Boxall a number of probing questions; an art that Mr. Littlemore has perfected in his years as a Barrister.

Of particular interest though are Alf''s responses. Not so much what he says but his involuntary reactions by way of his body language, specifically, his blinking.

Here's an article,2008, from the Daily Telegraph: 
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2589073/Liars-are-exposed-by-blinking.html

So, when telling an untruth, people tend not to blink but immediately afterwards there's a flurry of blinks.

Now watch the video of Alf's interview, in particular at the following points in the clip:

1. At 3 Minutes 24 seconds into the clip followed by multiple blinks

2. At 3 minutes 30 seconds in and followed by a very rapid series of blinks

3. At 6 minutes 20 seconds mark, comment about his involvement in an Intelligence unit, a continuous and steady flow of blinks followed his answer.

I'd like to be clear about this and my view of Alf Boxall:

• He was involved to a significant extent in the case
• He was involved in training people in the art of espionage specifically coding and concealment techniques as supported by the revelations of concealed code in the book given to him by Jestyn 12 months after their first meeting
• In the years 1944 to 1948/9, the intelligence services as such were fragmented, ASIO did not exist and the brunt of the work fell to Australian Military Intelligence as the major provider of such services.
• The immediate post-war years were extremely dangerous ones for Australia with an ever-present threat from the Soviets aided by their satellite organisation, The Communist Party of Australia, 

Alf had a job to do, it may not have always been pleasant but he did things that had to be done.

A SUMMARY

In the last few posts, we have examined some of the issues surrounding Jestyn and Alf. A number of interesting things have been gleaned from that examination:

1. It seems that Musgraves girlfriend, Joy, was the first person to mention the name 'Jestyn' when she introduced her to Alf Boxall at their first meeting at the Clifton Gardens Hotel in September 1944
2. Whilst, in the notes record of the ABC 'Inside Story' Programme files, Alf stated he did not recall her name, the book with the inscription that Jestyn had given him, was later shown to have been signed by 'Jestyn'. 
3. Not all of the recorded sessions for the Inside Story were played to air, but the record of what was said and by whom were, in the main, meticulously kept
4. On the issue of the book, note that the image of the page containing the inscription, the 'Jestyn' signature had been covered up, for no apparent reason.
5. It was quite telling that Musgrave declined to be interviewed, he was asked but it did not transpire.
6. There were a number of instances when you would have thought, Stuart Littlemore could have pursued Alf with more vigour, he did not and in some cases, he didn't pursue him at all when it would have clearly been justified. 

NO NUMBER 70 AND JESTYN'S SIGNATURE COVERED UP:

Just what do we get from this information?

I think that, based on what we now know for certain, we can safely conclude that Alf,  Tom Musgrave, Joy and Jestyn and probably others who were there the night of that first meeting, were all involved in Military Intelligence work and that the second meeting almost 12 months later, was the conclusion of a training course. The undeniable presence of concealed codes in the 'verse 70' book, the torn piece bearing the words 'TAMAM SHUD' and in the Somerton Man Code page, clearly corroborates this statement.

As always, there's more yet to be told and in the upcoming 3 months, there will be a number of more, fascinating, posts.

In the interim, here's a link to a site that has some useful information:
